CK20 QA?

ChuckinNH · Jan 28, 2008

I'm still considering a CK20, and forgot to ask the dealer the other day when I was there about a QA for the loader. Is there something available from Kioti, or do you have to find an aftermarket solution....... if so, what are you guys using? I am interested in having forks, and possibly a grapple at some point.

Here is Kioti's description,Chuck for the KL 120 FEL:

KIOTI - run ahead of the pack!

In a week or two and I should know first hand also as I will be test driving a
ck 120. Maybe the salesman will demonstrate just how quick it comes off.

Good luck with the hunt.

He is looking for a Quick Attach loader which is basically a plate with locking handles that mounts on the end of the loader arms and it makes changing between different buckets, forks, etc... very quick and easy. What Kioti means by "quick-detached" is that the entire loader, arms and all can easily come off the tractor when not in use.

I beleive a QA setup is aftermarket only on the CK20.

Dmace, that's what I thought. Perhaps ATi has one.
Rimshot, I hadn't been to that page on the web.... thanks for the link.

I think island tractor had that set up on a ck20 120 loader, and it was aftermarket.

ATI Corporation - Tach-All(tm) Quick Attach

Part #QA-KM2

Kioti does not make one.

Tim, thanks for the link. That is what I was looking for.

I have an aftermarket QA on my CK30, when I get back to Maine later this week.. I will post who's it is.

There are several companies that make aftermarket pin mount to QA adapters for the Kioti CK line (I believe the KL120 and KL130 share the same pin mount dimensions). As noted above, ATI makes one but it is pricy (?$600 or so). Horst Welding in Ontario makes one (I had that model on my CK20, tough but heavier than the ATI or others). Millonzi now makes one I understand. Rick Wallace has somebody who makes a QA adapter for his dealership. Don't know that much about it but if Rick chose it it is likely very good.

I've now got a Kioti standard issue QA adapter on my DK40se. It is considerably lighter weight/construction than the Horst but seems certainlly strong enough. You don't want too much weight tied up in a QA adapter as it comes right off your lift capacity. I don't believe Kioti makes a QA adapter that fits the CK line.
